If you have an urgent forum-related problem (can't log in, can't reset your password, forum is acting weird in a way that an administrator needs to know about right away, etc.), please send an email to rhemuthcastle (at) deryni (dot) net, which will reach the full admin team and whichever of us can get to it first will do our best to fix it. Keep in mind that all the members of the entire active mod team have at least one full-time job, so it may take a little time sometimes to get problems resolved. Thanks!

If there's a problem with the forum that isn't urgent, post it in the Site Support sub-forum (under the Site Support section), and we'll get to it as soon as we can.

And don't ask how long it took to write THAT! You don't want to know...

I'm guessing 15 really solid, focused minutes. Yes! Aerlys, I read that at lunch in the work break-room laughing out loud, and got a few curious glances my way. I think you are missing your calling. You should be writing weekly family antidotes, or children's epic tales Mini-Mister, the Conqueror of Leisure Time.

Elec, If you can do that in 47 minutes perhaps you could be a contender for the November NanoWriMo. I have heard that some people can actually succeed with this challenge. I can not even imagine writing so fast.

It only works for me because I have story lines worked out in my head and I don't have time to write that matches my desired output. I can type passably well, and it sometimes flows right out. It really flows when I'm writing about the Deryni. I wish my own material went to paper as smoothly.

Please continue. Only, if you're going to just update your Google Doc as you go rather than posting chapters here, please post a notice letting us know when there is more available to read, or at least at the end of each new chapter). Otherwise, many of us tend to be quite "out of sight, out of mind." Or at least I definitely am. I would hate to miss Albin's continuing adventures due to forgetting to check the link regularly.

Oh, I have plenty of storylines in my head. I just can't seem to get them out of my cranium and onto paper. Forget Dragon Voice Recognition software. I've decided that I need Deryni Brain Recognition software. Much faster.

That little glimpse into my writing challenges was practically a dictation! I did leave out the part where Mini Mister put a throw pillow on my head and said, "Here's your wart, Mommy."

I've thought about doing children's fiction, but haven't taken the leap, yet. At least I have a test audience handy.

Glad I could give y'all all a chuckle. I'll grab a bottle of Fianna red and be right over, Jerusha.

It was the Kelsonus Rex that got me - Albin's really in trouble when Kelson goes all Latin and pulls rank. Ok - it's a taste of his own medicine but Byzantium is a cruel place to be taught a lesson
